The first thing I did was have sex with a hetero man.
Well, I hope it was worth it!
What do you think of yourself now?

I happily celebrate my daughter's birthday. Now that I have had a special visit from Cancer, I will be HAPPILY celebrating each and every birthday that I have as well. Each of my daughter's birthdays will now be milestones to me.
To me, right from her very first birthday, I could see that birthday celebrations were not wrong in and of themselves. There is nothing pagan about it. I was so happy that my daughter was in my life, healthy and happy at age 1. When her second birthday came along, oh my, more changes and milestones to celebrate and enjoy and even reasons to be thankful to God and give him praise.
As both her and I come upon our birthdays this year, we will have many reasons to celebrate and be thankful. I guess I won't ever think it is wrong.

The very first thing I did was to begin swearing like a truckdriver. A foul word came out of my mouth at every possible opportunity, which back then occurred about once every 30 seconds or so. I perfected ways of combining several foul words into colorful, graphic sentences for maximum impact. I particularly enjoyed using these words in front of old ladies or captive audiences who couldn't prevent me from doing it. I responded to the most inconsequential conflict with a long list of curse words.
I am not proud of this. It was very immature. At the time, I thought it was a great way to release my anger and to rebel against any limits placed upon me. (I was 19 at the time.) It lost its appeal after a few months. Now I'm usually polite.

Rebel8,
For someone only 5 months old, that language must have been shocking indeed!
I must admit that I've also grown to love the full use of language, and enjoy dropping the occasional curse word as well.
As to other things I did when I left, I love doing all sorts of things that I would have been troubled by before. Our yard is full of windchimes, we have two Buddha statues in the gardens, I never look at a film rating when I rent DVDs, I toast at parties, sing Happy Birthday, stand for the National Anthem, attend a church service if I so desire (rarely!), celebrate holidays in my own fashion, have absolutely no fear of gods or demons, associate with anyone I damn well please to, vote, hold political opinions, grow and shave my beard as the mood hits me, and in general live as a free, intelligent, passionate man.

I love who I am now...I am a confident, capable, loving, kind woman. I began decorating my house to the hilt, for every holiday....and I stopped feeling guilty for celebrating them. I've also forgotten all about meeting nights, and preparing for them...now I have LOADS of time for my family, their needs, and hobbies. I LOVE life.
